I just completed sewing some modular pockets for my HMG pack.
First, the pack. It was designed by Ryan Jordan and built by HMG. They should have it up for sale on the site soon.
What I loved was the incredible amount of modular options the pack offers.
The first project was a mesh pocket for the front of the pack. Javan Dempsey and I came up with the design together and he did most of the sewing. It attaches in several places along the daisy chains down the sides of the front of the pack. The back is sil and the front is stretch mesh.
Next up were hip belt pockets. I sewed these myself from blue VX21.
The first pocket came out ok but there are definitely some visible mistakes.
The second is a much better design.
The stiff nature of VX21 makes it a great material for pockets. They hold their shape very well.
